Remove redundant and wrong ILX lines.

Remove confusing out-of-date comment.

Add an ext_name string to foreign dotnet types.

Stop using kludgedSystem; the new Windows implementation of system works
instead.

correct a comment (the -B option is mandatory).

re-do package path munging that I b?rked yesterday

Reimplement system() properly on Windows. This avoids two problems with
Windows system(): first, the maximum command-line length, and secondly, the
fact that system() returns before the command has completed, and sleep() was
used to hack around this.

This doesn't affect the use of kludgedSystem, which needs to be removed for
GHC not to need a shell at all.

good riddance

Don't install the pkgconf binary in a BIN_DIST any more.

Allow paths in package.conf to begin with the string "$libdir" which
is magically replaced by the compiler with either

  (a) the argument to the -B<dir> option, if one is present, or
  (b) the wired-in libdir otherwise.

This means that the standard package.conf file is independent of the
install location and we don't need the post-install-script hack any
more (Julian - could you update the install machinery when the time
comes? thanks.)

Ensure the boilerplate rule still applies for building HSstd_cbits.o.

document data types with no constructors

Changes to build HSstd1.o and HSstd2.o for GHCi in lib/std

--------------------------------------
	Tidy up and improve "pattern contexts"
	--------------------------------------

In various places (renamer, typechecker, desugarer) we need to know
what the context of a pattern match is (case expression, function defn,
let binding, etc).  This commit tidies up the story quite a bit.  I
think it represents a net decrease in code, and certainly it improves the
error messages from:

	f x x = 3

Prevsiously we got a message like "Conflicting bindings for x in a pattern match",
but not it says "..in a defn of function f".

WARNING: the tidy up had a more global effect than I originally expected,
so it's possible that some other error messages look a bit peculiar.  They
should be easy to fix, but tell us!

--------------------------
	Allow data type declarations
	to have zero constructors
	--------------------------

This allows

	data T a

as a data type declaration; i.e. allows zero constructors.
If there is an '=' sign there must be at least one constructor.


* Parser.y: parse the declaration
* HsDecls: print out the data type declaration right
* TyCon: don't ASSERT that the constructors are non-empty

Mention __NHC__ alongside __HUGS__ and __HBC__ in the description
of the cpp symbol __GLASGOW_HASKELL__.

Fix hSetPosn type in the export comment.

When checking to see whether the .o is up-to-date, use the -o .o (if given)

findOnPackagePath: return file-path not directory

Allow underscores in module names presented to the :module command.

Don't force a module's {-# SOURCE #-} imports to have object linkables
in order for the current module's object linkable to be considered
valid (fixes some unnecessary recompilation with recursive modules).

Fix Unix world breakage.

First part of support for hierarchical module names:

   - the Finder now searches all possible paths when looking for
     a source file or .hi file.  I've removed the caching because
     now we have to search in subdirectories of each path option,
     and it was dubious whether the cache was actually helping.

   - the compilation manager now outputs a warning if it can't find
     the source for a given module, only the .hi file.  Previously
     this caused a cryptic error message when we attempted to call
     getModificationTime on the non-existent source file.

Track current changes in the text-mode-seek-on-Windows saga.

Try to improve matters in the text-mode-seek swamp.  Only disallow
text-mode-seeks on Win32, rather than on all platforms.  That means
that seeks in text mode on Unix platforms should work as originally
(which was the correct H98 behaviour), whilst Win32 generates
exceptions if you do seeks in text mode.

Another -L<dir> for ghci wibble.

RTS-side stuff for making -L<dir> work on the ghci command line.

Further improve the $(SRCS) story, allowing you to exclude certain
sources (and all of their derived components) by setting
$(EXCLUDED_SRCS).

Add prototype for inputReady().

Update with more instructions on getting the IS setup working and notes on
why some of the less obvious binaries are included in the Windows dist.

Add comment about why gmp is configured differently on Windows.

Say that building packages as DLLs is now no longer supported, but may still
work.
